More typhoons on way to southeastern China, expert says

China's southeastern coastal region was warned to prepare for more typhoons this month, as Typhoon Tida battered many provinces on Tuesday, the national meteorological authority said.

"In 10 days, there will be two to three typhoons formed, of which one will make landfall in the southeast," Wang Zhihua, deputy head of the emergency and disaster relief department under the China Meteorological Administration, said on Thursday.

So far this year, China has seen three typhoons make landfall - more frequently than average. The three struck in southern and southeastern regions, including Fujian, Hainan and Guangdong provinces, as well as Taiwan, said Qian Chuanhai, a typhoon forecaster in the administration.
